		<title>MiniCommand, Machinedrum, and OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I’ve had a Ruin &#38; Wesen MiniCommand for a little under a year, but haven’t been using it as much as I would like because it didn’t integrate well with my setup — until last night. The standard way to use the MiniCommand is to connect it in a closed MIDI loop with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alien Autopsy Via Sample-Rate Reduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a cool sound-design trick. If you want to get a vocal-sounding ‘formant filter’ effect out of a synth that only has a normal lowpass filter, you can take advantage of a quirk of sample-rate reduction effects to generate multiple “mirrored” filter sweeps through the wonder of aliasing. Here’s a sound clip from my machinedrum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ableton Live, The Machinedrum and The Monomachine (Part 2): Minimizing Latency</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Part one of this series, I posted tips for getting the Monomachine and Machinedrum synced and recording properly with your Live sessions. The other half of the equation is which operations to avoid that might introduce latency and timing errors during your sessions. Ableton Prints Recordings Where It Thinks You Heard Them I guess [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ableton Live, The Machinedrum and The Monomachine: Midi Sync Notes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I’ve been (going crazy) getting the timing tight between Ableton and two outboard sequencers — the Elektron Monomachine and Machinedrum.  On their own, these silver boxes have amazingly tight timing. They can sync to each other to create a great live setup. Add a computer DAW into the loop, and you introduce jitter, latency, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To: Algorithmic Music with Ruby, Reaktor, and OSC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The basic idea is to use a simple OSC library available for Ruby to code interesting music, and have Native Instruments’ Reaktor serve as the sound engine. Tadayoshi Funaba has an excellent site including all sorts of interesting Ruby modules.  I grabbed the osc.rb module and had fun with it. I’m giving a brief presentation at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Machinedrum Recursive Sampling Test 02</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this is another example of using the MD’s internal sampler to create a recursive “feedback loop” of sampling and resampling and resampling.… This has a tendency of psychedelically twisting the underlying beat.  The way this stuff sounds has really surpassed my wildest dreams. MD Recurse Test 02 If you’re a Machindrum SPS-UW user, there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Machinedrum Recursive Sampling Test 01</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was a first test at using the Machinedrum’s internal sampler recursively.  I was trying to emulate my fractal wavetables sounds in hardware, as closely as the MD could do it. MD Recurse Test 01 Patience… it gets really cool from around 1:00 on.]]></description>

		<title>Fractal Wavetables</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based on work by composer Terran Olson, I’m releasing a Processing applet that lets you play with recursive/fractal sound synthesis by setting a few sliders. Background Inspired by an article on CDM, and Terran Olson’s work in particular, I dug into creating a slightly more general version of fractal set synthesis. In essence, you use [...]]]></description>
